Remember, 'Rome was not built in a day.' Instant success is never possible. Competence results only from sustained, consistent, self-disciplined effort over an extended period of time.

Losing is easy. It's not enjoyable, but it's easy.

Football, in its purest form, remains a physical fight. As in any fight, if you don't want to fight, it's impossible to win.

If you are going to be a champion, you must be willing to pay a greater price.

If a team is to reach its potential, each player must be willing to subordinate his personal goals to the good of the team.

We compete, not so much against an opponent, but against ourselves. The real test is this: Did I make my best effort on every play?

The man who tried his best and failed is superior to the man who never tried.
